More STB translations:

  - `stb_image.h` v2.27
     => [D 
translation](https://github.com/AuburnSounds/Dplug/blob/master/graphics/dplug/graphics/pngload.d)
     I believe this is the fastest/resource efficient PNG loading 
available in D.
     That one is stripped for only PNG decoding only, it's useful 
if you want 16-bit PNG and the latest STB optimizations.

  - `stb_image_resize.h` v0.96:
     => [D 
translation](https://github.com/AuburnSounds/Dplug/blob/master/graphics/dplug/graphics/stb_image_resize.d)
     I believe this is the fastest/memory-aware image resizing 
available in D. It is an image resizer with an excellent quality.

  - `stb_truetype.h` v0.7:
    => [D 
translation](https://github.com/AuburnSounds/Dplug/blob/master/graphics/dplug/graphics/stb_truetype.d)

  - `stb_vorbis.h` v1.22:
     => [D 
translation](https://github.com/AuburnSounds/audio-formats/blob/master/source/audioformats/stb_vorbis2.d)

Most of the translations can't be used as-is in our codebase 
anyway, so they were all tweaked to fit their D purpose (eg: 
original might have ARM intrinsics).
